Hotels near Borgofranco Station

"Staying in a true stone castle, with a tower, wrought iron door hardware, frescoes, and excellent accommodations was amazing enough, but to share the spaces with the ghosts of Rosario Scalero's esteemed students of music and walk the trails of the pilgrims from Canterbury to Rome conjured up a special magic for our group of 8 music, food, and wine-loving Midwesterners. Karl was an excellent host with his local team of Moreno and Giulia, helping us discover the wonders of the region and the friendly village at the castle's base. The one item that should noted for other castle-lodgers that was not apparent to us in the listing is the difficulty of hauling luggage by hand up and down the steep winding and stony path or several hundred stairs - ultimately worthwhile for most of our group, but very limiting to one or two members with mobility issues. Those with adequate fitness can plan ahead for packing mainly essentials, but those for whom rigorous daily climbs would be challenging should think twice. Nevertheless, the majority of our group would enthusiastically hope to return some day, definitely worthy of the effort! "

"Went from Torino to Ivrea by train then to Chiaverano to visit the town of my grandmother who emigrated to the USA in 1920"

"Wonderful place, amazing rooms (and this is an understatement) and lovely staff. This hotel is more than worthwhile a "détour". "

"Great value and friendly staff! "

"The room was next to a busy road, but I was able to sleep well because of tiredness. Anyone walking the Via Francigena should be tired enough to sleep through an explosion. 😇 It’s only 9 mins walk from the train station (bus-substitute trains run often.) It is 19 minutes downhill walk from the Roman bridge at Pont Saint Martin. The only thing I didn’t like about the property was how difficult it was to lock the shared bathroom. Please don't wait until you really have to go as the lock may or may not work on first try, or if at all."

"Fantastic place with wonderful views and very nice host and staff. Highly recommend!"

"There were too many stairs and that is challenging to someone with physical disabilities. We would have liked to know that before we booked."

"Amazing staff"
